Driving a Dodge Viper for the First Time

[@microbuilder]

The turning radius gets much better if you turn the wheel to full lock, give a few thousand RPMs, and dump the clutch...180s on a dime.

[@Sk1ds87]

Correct. I also do that with my '86 Corvette.

[@Baerchenization]

Not buying it... the look and feel of the interior adds so much to a car, after all, you have to look at it all the fucking time. I am not saying they have to go full Aston Martin, but at least SOME effort... it is simply not a complete car. Just a big engine is not enough and the US auto industry as a whole has still not understood that, which is why nobody wants to buy their crap outside the US. So after your little joke has worn off, that is like after 7 seconds, it is not so great anymore.

[@bullfrogger1208]

I was in high school during the muscle era . Friends had Roadrunners and Dusters .Besides the ugly bodies and paint , the cars drove terrible and the doors almost rattled off right out of the showroom . Friend's Duster Demon was ugly orange with a black roof and a 340 cu , 4 speed with a hideous bench seat . Car weighed about 500 pounds and was scary fast , but you could feel in every bump what a piece of crap it was . Another guy had a 2 door roadrunner .The doors were about 6 feet long and bent the hinges just opening them . Kermit the frog green , with a little roadrunner perched in the back window and a huge air foil over the trunk area . Who cares about interior when your car looks like that ? They were built to go a quarter mile . At night on a country road .In 1973 it all changed from talking elapsed time to talking about fuel mileage . Then America built it's worst garbage ever trying to catch up to the Japanese , Vegas and Pintos . You want crappy cars ? Look no further . Built millions and none still on the road .

you know looking back at this thing, I'm surprised some of these viper owners havent been retrofitting the latter doors to the earlier cars, like take a 92 to 95, and fit the 96 doors to them so they can have normal door locks and windows on them, even if it means converting them to roll ups.
